Chapter 554: Eating Grapes (First Update, Ask for Recommendation Tickets, Monthly Passes!)
Xavier Nil, as a pure Frenchman, has no bottom line in self-blackening, and can be called a traitor.
Of course, there is still a certain gap compared with the Danes who speak brainlessly, and on the anniversary of the victory in World War II one year, the Danish official Weibo said that fortunately, Denmark surrendered in a very timely manner and escaped the catastropheγγγγγγ In the end, it is the country that gave birth to Hans Christian Andersen.
Zhang Chen was amused, before the two chatted deeply, Zhang Chen had already read Xavier Neal's project plan, and he did a good job. It can be seen that this person's thinking is very clear, and the capital plan and exit channels are also relatively thoughtful.
It is estimated that it is precisely because of Xavier's personality that is incompatible with the French elite that it is difficult for him to obtain financial support in France, so he takes the initiative to seek help from American capital.
Zhang Chen thought for a moment: "Since you have already judged that broadband is tomorrow, isn't it good to start laying out broadband services now? Why bother to use the dial-up Internet service in which competitors have already achieved a leading edge as a breakthrough point for starting a business?"
Xavier Nir smiled slightly: "Because this 'today' is very long. β
Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Xavier Nill spread his hands: "You should have heard the saying that one who is half a step ahead of the times is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman." But I agree with this sentence a little differently, I don't want to be ahead of the times. I don't think 'being the first mover' is necessarily an advantage, but it can lead to failure due to the high cost of trial and error and going too fast. β
"Mercedes-Benz invented the automobile, but now the world's largest car group is General Motors of the United States, and the future may be Toyota; the first computer was invented by the Englishman Fairlaus in 1943, but it was von Neumann, who only started to get into the computer two years later; Apple invented the personal computer, but now Apple's sales are not even as good as your iCom. Xavier Nill quietly complimented Zhang Chen, "These examples show that the first strike may be an advantage, but it is also possible to become a martyr." β
"Moreover, the external environment of broadband networks is still immature, and the one-time investment in fixed assets is too much, so the broadband business is not an ideal entry point for entrepreneurs, and the risk is too large. β
"And most importantly," Xavier Nil grinned, two rows of white teeth glinting, "now all the dial-up operators in France seem to me to be a bunch of pigs, and they are like the gap between the Mariana Trench and Mount Everest compared to my business skills." β
Zhang Chen smiled slightly: "I have confidence, but if it is really as you said, you can put pressure on the existing operators in the dial-up Internet service, and you must have occupied more than 20% of the market, are you not afraid of conflicting with your broadband layout and triple play strategy?"
Xavier Nil's face did not change: "I will sell Orldnet when the time comes." β
Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment and laughed: "OK, I voted." β
Xavier Nil grinned, "I'm not going to let your money go down the drain." β

"He said that he was going to sell his startup, why did you seem to be happy?" Tang Miaomiao was quite puzzled by Zhang Chen's reaction.
Zhang Chen patted his thigh, Tang Miaomiao glanced at Zhang Chen, and sat on Zhang Chen's lap obediently, Zhang Chen sniffed the familiar smell on Tang Miaomiao's body, "Don't look at what he said easily, it's not that simple to grab food in the hands of these telecom operators in France." If he holds the purpose of stumbling in the dial-up Internet market, no matter how slow the other party responds, with the advantage of coverage, no matter how slow the other party responds, as long as the price is reduced, Orldnet is a dead end, it is nothing more than a matter of time. β
"If he does it with a stubborn attitude, the certainty of success is very low. But his current purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to seize the dial-up Internet market, take advantage of the momentum of the Internet to sell the company at the right time, and earn the first pot of gold, and then develop broadband and triple play services. β
"It's the way of a smart guy, he knows how to make trade-offs, better than most people, and knows which path is the most feasible, and I'm very optimistic about him. β
Tang Miaomiao pulled down a grape from the fruit bowl placed on the low table next to her and fed it to Zhang Chen: "I heard that you found a female assistant again?"
Zhang Chen hugged Tang Miaomiao's waist: "That's right, Sister Su, didn't she resign, she had to go to Xiangjiang and Li Jiacheng's girlfriend to engage in the electronic business of the group, and no one had to deal with many things, so I could only find an assistant." β
Tang Miaomiao smiled: "I heard that she is still a beauty." β
Zhang Chen pretended to be stupid: "Beauty? β
Tang Miaomiao cut off: "Duplicity." β
Zhang Chen was wronged: "It's really not a beauty, I'm with you every day, and I can't see if other women are beautiful or not. Don't be suspicious, don't you? I promise it's a working relationship with her, now and in the future, okay?"
Tang Miaomiao nodded contentedly, "It's pretty much the same." As he spoke, he fed Zhang Chen another grape.
Zhang Chen was eating grapes, and suddenly sneered, Tang Miaomiao said suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhang Chen said twice: "Have you seen the 90-year-old list of gods? Every time the king is arrogant and lascivious, he is singing and dancing and leaking his navel, and then the king is lying on a couch, and Daji will feed him grapes endlessly." β
Tang Miaomiao's eyes were like silk: "King, are the concubine's grapes delicious?"
Zhang Chen's eyes erupted with fire, and he picked up Tang Miaomiao from his lap, Tang Miaomiao exclaimed: "King, don't, King, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Chen walked into the bedroom with Tang Miaomiao in his arms, and made a vicious appearance: "What are you doing? Eat your grapes!"

RAKSHASA, ST. PETERSBURG, IGORA RESORT.
Fifty kilometers north of St. Petersburg, the IGORA resort is tucked away in a dense primeval forest dotted with lakes of various sizes, which look like a necklace of pearls scattered through the forest when viewed from above.
Soros bought the land three years ago in the name of a Rakshasa company, and now it has been largely developed, and many local dignitaries and oligarchs who have made a fortune through privatization have bought holiday villas here.
In a small boat in the middle of the lake, a silver-haired George Soros holds a fishing rod and stares at the calm water.
"George, investors are more worried about the economic situation of Rakshasa, although we have made 143% of the gains in Southeast Asia this year, if the financial crisis of the Rakshasa can not be alleviated, our return this year will not exceed 25%. Druckenmiller, who was in the same boat as Soros, looked at Soros, who was sitting across from him, fed the hook with bait, and threw it into the lake.
The fish in front of Soros floated on the surface of the water and vibrated in a circle of ripples, Soros lifted the fishing rod hard, and a small fish jumped out of the water with the transparent fishing line.
Soros regretfully plucked the palm-sized fish from the hook and put it back in the lake, "It's still too small." β
